Countdown Plugin

Another plugin submitted to the Plugin Market. A digital countdown clock. Useful for countdowns to your events. Obviously it wouldn't be one of my plugins unless it didn't have a twist and added functionality. The app has local notifications for when a user wishes to be reminded when the countdown runs down. Also has an optional button which can only be accessed when the countdown reaches zero. You can hide content until a particular date and time. It is currently only compatible with iOS but functions perfectly on iPhone and iPad. Some videos to check out iPhone version http://youtu.be/MwKWb3Abu90 iPad version http://youtu.be/F7SsPuQfKAk

Great stuff Kittsy, I have had the fortune of playing with this plugin for a bit now, works really well. Also if you need to change the size of the countddown etc, the nice thing is it is easy to do using Interface in the .xib files. @kittsy, did you include the various countdown timer styles? Kristen

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to make this king of plugin a splash screen? Obviously hide the buttons etc. Would be cool to show a countdown timer when a user opens the app. Anyone got any solutions (hint @Kittsy) Thanks

Newbie to buzztouch and to app building! Our countdown timer has finished the countdown and we have a button appearing at zero time left. The button currently says 'Access'. Can this text be changed to say something else? Cheers Kimberley

You can totally change that- One of the files in the plug-in is an .xib file. Open that in Xcode and you can edit and modify the button text. Just click on the button text and the editor will invoke. You can make that button/screen look anyway you want. Great plug-in!
